BASIC RULES FOR KEEPING A LAB NOTEBOOK

• ALWAYS write in blue or black pen. Gel ink preferred (does not dissolve in most liquids).
• Colors can be used for diagrams and drawings.
• NEVER use white-out. Cross out mistake with single line, then initial.
• Draw a single line through any large open areas to prevent possible last-minute "additions" by other people
• Staple or tape all graphs, charts, and pictures. DO NOT use glue.
• Indicate which pages the lab continues on to.
• Sign your name and date when you complete the lab. If you get a peer review, have them sign and date your lab book.
